First, how do we locate a place where we can camp . I like to
3 different websites, this along with a laptop, enables a large screen to be
used.

Some people my ask why not use certain Apps. Well most of them will charge you a yearly fee, whereas the above websites are FREE, and FREE is Good.
Once we have identified where we are going, we then locate a place where to explore. Next, is to locate a disconnect zone, where we leave the Rv and take our vehicle and scout the areas. Using Googles Maps (Satellite view) zoom in and search out locations to visit and check to see if the conditions are safe for our Rv.
Other references we use, especially if going to a National Forest (Not a National Park), we will go to the National Forest (NF), website.
Example: Coconino NF
Website - https://www.fs.usda.gov/coconino/
Then if you closely look at the menu left side:

The first menu to use is the Recreation menu.
Great for: Driving, trail riding motorized vehicles
Next will be the Camping & Cabins
From there we search for location, in addition to Fire Dangers and other information.
Now for those of you who want a map, going back to the first image, you will see a menu for maps of the NF.
When in the NF, I tend to buy a hard copy and add to my collection, however as you can see there are Digital versions to download.
However, this is one you should get:
Printed Maps
Coconino National Forest Motor Vehicle Use Map - Free!
Great for: Driving, trail riding motorized vehicles
The Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) is the legal document/map that shows where it is legal to drive a motorized vehicle. The MVUM is updated every year, so please be sure that you are using the most current version when driving on the National Forest. The newest version of the map is published and available for pick-up or download by May 1 each year.
A hard copy of this map is freely available upon request at any of our forest offices or by calling the Coconino National Forest Supervisor's Office at 928-527-3600.
